she looked me dead in the eye and my heart skipped a beat
she took my hand, stopped in the middle of the street
and convinced me that no cars could hit me
we stood there for hours, or seconds I can’t recall
i was lost in the moment while she watched me fall
and her deviant smile, was all that i saw
she’s got me wrapped around her finger, that she twirls her hair with
i choke on my words as she pretends she doesn't notice
i’m losing my touch with every inch she moves closer
I’m testing my luck with every laugh that she fakes
i know i'm not your only lover
but i can pretend for my sake
we'll sleep in circles agreed just so it never ends
fall into old patterns, in bed with all of my friends
you're kissing asses while i make myself look like one
begging for some love
what have i become?
she’s got me wrapped around her finger, that she twirls her hair with
i choke on my dignity
as i pretend not to notice
i’m losing my touch with every inch she moves closer
I’m testing my luck with every laugh that she fakes
i know i'm not your only lover
but i can pretend for my sake
i'm losing myself with every inch i move closer
i'm telling more lies with every joke i make
i know i shouldn't be your lover
but i can pretend for my sake
why did you give yourself to me
and let me believe
that this was meant to be?
why did you leave me to believe
in a fantasy
we were just a dream
i’m losing my touch with every inch she moves closer
I’m testing my luck with every laugh that she fakes
i know i'm not your only lover
but i can pretend for my sake
i'm losing myself with every inch i move closer
i'm telling more lies with every joke i make
i know I shouldn't be your lover
but i can pretend for my sake
